Isaiah 48:1-6

Christian Standard Bible

48 “Listen to this, house of Jacob—
those who are called by the name Israel
and have descended from^[a] Judah,^(A)
who swear by the name of the Lord^(B)
and declare the God of Israel,
but not in truth or righteousness.
² For they are named after the holy city,
and lean on the God of Israel;^(C)
his name is the Lord of Armies.
³ I declared the past events long ago;
they came out of my mouth; I proclaimed them.
Suddenly I acted, and they occurred.
⁴ Because I know that you are stubborn,
and your neck is iron^[b]
and your forehead bronze,^(D)
5 therefore I declared to you long ago.
I announced it to you before it occurred,
so you could not claim, ‘My idol caused them;
my carved image and cast idol control them.’^(E)
6 You have heard it. Observe it all.
Will you not acknowledge it?
From now on I will announce new things to you,
hidden things that you have not known.^(F)
